US, China Sparks Trade War Tension

U.S, and China Trade Wars Rekindled after Muted Past Days

On the other hand, JP Morgan recently noted that China won’t be missing a lot if the “trade wars” proceed. They noted that there will be no instantaneous effect for China’s economy, although wars’ effect will surely be felt just before the year ends.

These negotiations are looking to give the trade war a jagged path. The numerous discussion and agreement are also certainly put a partial trade war on the boards.
